Nevada City Music Hall in Travel Magazine
By Larry Emmons

I was delighted today when I received the Spring 2010 edition of the
AAA travel magazine "VIA Mountain West", featuring a nice 1/3-page
spread about the Nevada City Music Hall on their "On the Road" page
(page 18).  To quote:

  March time!  A towering 1895 Gavioli & Co. carousel organ with
  cymbals, drums, and swirling floral scrollwork is a highlight among
  the many antique devices on display in Montana's Nevada City Music
  Hall, one of the world's largest collections of automated music
  machines.  Bring a sack of coins to hear a cacophony of marches,
  fox-trot, and waltzes.  (406) 843-5247
  http://virginiacitymt.com/musichall.asp 

A nice color photo of the band organ fills out the corner of the page.

Although I haven't been to Nevada City, Montana, since the dedication
of the Wurlitzer DX restored as part of AMICA's Adopt-a-Piano project,
it is great to see this kind of interest in a major travel magazine.
There is a bit of the history explained and credit is given for AMICA's
contributions at the museum web site.

And it is a great place to visit for anyone traveling in the Northern
Rockies this summer!
